| Research Abstract |
We have constructed the microbial system for the lactate-based polymers by using our developed lactate-polymerizing enzyme. The copolymers have been synthesized by achieving the range control of lactate fraction, from 0 to 50 mol% in Escherichia coli and 50 to nearly 100 mol% in Corynebacterium glutamicum. Among them, lactate polymer with 30 mol% lactate fraction was produced up to 11 g/L. In terms of polymer properties, copolymers gained flexibility with increasing lactate fraction compared to the rigid hopolymers such as PLA. Also, microbial polymers were demonstrated to be synthesized by using the enzymatically hydrolyzed sugars from the plant biomass.
